This 1925 bungalow is on the market for the first time in nearly 20 years. The 2 story, 3 bed 2.5 bath house includes a 2 car garage with a 1/1 guest house above. Originally built by a ship deck builder employed in the Tampa port for his daughter and son in law as a wedding gift (see original pics in gallery) This home has always been in caring hands and has never fallen into disrepair. If you have a love for craftsman style architecture then you will appreciate the extraordinary lengths that have been taken to preserve the originality of this home and the attention to detail in the fixtures and hardware throughout the house. From the refinished hardwood floors, period Hunter ceiling fans, push button light switches, the original working gas fireplace, clawfoot tubs with brass shower conversions, period Crane sinks and toilets, original solid pine doors and knobs, even the AC ducts are period cast iron registers! The beautifully restored Chambers stove (with griddle, broiler and deep well) matches perfectly with the retro Northstar fridge and Big Chill dishwasher. The cabinetry was constructed using the original guest house cabinetry as a template. Countertops are stained solid butcher block and the original farmhouse sink has been refinished recently. The east facing windows have been fitted with real stained glass and brass filler. All of the double hung windows have been rebuilt and operate. Both buildings have been completely updated with new wiring and breaker panels as well as modern plumbing. Gas tankless hot water heaters have recently been installed in both buildings. The house has separate AC units for upstairs and downstairs. The guest house also features central heat and air. A metal roof was new in 2010. The deck is ideal for BBQs and the yard is completely landscaped with drought resistant foliage. There is an automatic irrigation system along with landscape lighting throughout the front and back yards. The parking area and driveway was done entirely with reclaimed brick that match the age of the house perfectly. No detail has been overlooked on this home. The furniture appliances, original antiques and blinds will remain with the home when sold. Viewing by appointment only. Contact can be made by emailing 311W.Haya@gmail.com
